It's like I've ran away from home
and joined the circus.
  
JIMMIE
Welcome to the Big Top.
  
DOTTIE
Thanks.  We're happy to be on the
tour.
  
JIMMIE
I'm happy to have you.  You're some 
very talented girls.

DOTTIE takes in the Observation Car in a sweeping glance.

Most bands don't have it this good.
It must set you back a hefty chunk 
of change to travel by private rail 
cars instead of a tour bus? 
  
JIMMIE
It's money well spent.  Especially 
when we're touring down here in the 
Deep South.
(without bitterness)
It allows the brothers to stay focused 
on keeping the melody tight and in the 
pocket, and not worrying about searching    
for lodgings in the Colored Section, or 
having some redneck peckerwood 
knucklehead tell them to use the back 
door when they want a bite to eat.
